They are actually implying that our military may not follow lawful federal orders issued by our Commander-in-Chief, because they suggest those orders could be illegal. It sure sounds like they are asking the intelligence community as well as the military to essentially overthrow Trump. Concurrently, ... Read more

There are many angles from which to view the “Scandalous Saga of the Seditious Six,” the recent Video-Gate story of six Democrat congresspeople who went public to admonish serving military personnel that they don’t need to follow orders they deem illegal.

No one breaks laws or violates rights like Democrats. Keep that in mind as they work to build their latest anti-Trump “unlawful orders” narrative.
